    After looking forward to my Friday night out and first drink for 13 days, I decided I'd like to be 2 weeks AF for the first time in ages (part of that is because I've recently had surgery), so I didn't go out and didn't drink.

    And tomorrow, well today, it's been 14 days.
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    After a fantastic 4 days AF I fell off wagon last night. It's no excuse I know but allowed stresses to get in the way of self-control. Back on wagon again tonight though.

    I have a dilemma, it's only a small one....

    I bought 2 packs of slow roasted pork with maderia sauce and roast potatoes last week on the reduced bit in Mr T's (finest range don't you know :cool:), got home and shoved it in the freezer. Took them out this morning to defrost for tonight and I now notice it says 'not suitable for home freezing' :undecided

    Why not?

    Will we all get ill?

    Any ideas anyone?

    Plus another dilemma....

    What the hell can I do to make OH go out tonight so I get the remote control?

    Jo, might be that the roast potatoes will be a bit soggy now - can't think why else you wouldn't freeze it. As its finest I wonder if they are being over cautious. Pork is ok frozen as long as it wasn't off before you froze it. As for OH, I have trouble getting mine to stay in on a Saturday so I don't know - you could tell him what you intend to watch on TV all night to see if that scares him into going out :rotfl:

    Hope everyone is well today - rubbish grey sky here so I don't think we'll be going far.

    I'm aiming for another AF day - so far I haven't spent £48 on wine in a week and a half, and that is just drinking at home. So I'm quite motivated to keep it going (or should I say shamed that I was blowing so much on the poison when we need the money for other things).
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
